Pandemic Risk of Emerging Infectious Diseases
Early, reliable detection of the pandemic potential of emerging infectious diseases is a problem of paramount interest. Despite considerable attention devoted to the control of new influenza viruses and coronaviruses, a systematic approach to using surveillance data for monitoring the evolving risk that an emerging pathogen will cause an epidemic is still missing. We propose to develop such a method to be applied to MERS-CoV, H7N9 or other emerging and pandemic-threatening pathogen.
(i) Ph.D. in applied mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science or a related quantitative field,
(ii) solid mathematical background,
(iii) excellent programming skills in low-level languages,
(iv) excellent communication skills.
Experience in mathematical biology is desirable.
